      I finished the Legionnaire last night. I really enjoyed it. In pacing and language it felt very much like an old timey ghost story and I think that's what the Author was going for.

        My reading and even my collecting has taken a quirky reflective turn lately, not exactly sure why. The forum provides me with an interesting contrast, in that we are often talking about the things that are coming out, while I seem to be looking back over my shoulder to see what I’ve missed. Lately I’ve gone back and picked up John M. Ford, Alan Ryan and lastly Les Daniels.

          As I mentioned I tracked down the Les Daniel's Don Sebastian de Villanueva series. The books were extremely reasonable and I was able find several that were signed. The Detective book is really interesting and as a bonus it is signed by Graham Greene. Sorry I don't know why the picture turned upside down LOl!

              Found a reasonable copy on ABE. Couldn't believe it, the book is just about Fine!

                I received today The Night Doctor and Other Tales: Short Fiction by Steve Rasnic Tem and Blood Secrets by Craig Jones. Both are S/L copies.

                  As promised - here are some pictures of how this project turned out.

                  I struggled with deciding on how to get it framed, but one Sunday afternoon I had a great idea - what if I framed the two paintings together just like they appeared in the book? So that's exactly what I did.

                  Here's the pages as they appear in the book:
                  IMG_0794.jpg

                  The two original paintings are floating in the frame to make the art pop a bit more, plus since none of the art is obscured, you can still see all of all the bits that were lost when they were printed in the book.

                  I tried to match the frame with the color of the book's cover - and I think I did a pretty good job of that, especially with the gold elements.
                  IMG_1225-scaled.jpg

                  This project exceeded my expectations - I really love how this turned out and can't wait to begin hanging up all of my art in my office/den finally. It's only a been a year with bare walls afterall . . .

Each letter of the alphabet featured a painted "spot" illustration, and then a fully painted page of what the letter represented. A is for Aviary. B is for Black Axe, etc.

                  Here's a poster of all the letters (I grabbed one at ECCC in 2018 that I always forget I have):

                  The G was cool because it's the initial of my last name, and I thought it would look really nice framed up.

                  It never got framed. Which might have been a good thing.

                  A couple of weeks ago, the accompanying full page page painting was offered for sale, but I had a hard time justifying the price. Well, the other day, the price was lowered quite significantly, and after working with the seller to negotiate even lower, I was able to purchase the painting!

                  So now I really need to get these two framed because I own the set.

                  G is for Guardmouse.

                  (The blue tape is just keeping the sleeve closed - it's not on the painting.)

                  And what it looks like in the book:

                                Where is the David Petersen & Serena Malyon image? I don't see how they fit in or maybe I should say what did you do with the David Petersen & Serena Malyon image? I guess I'm missing something Jason.
